Phillip Bloch calls Michelle Obama

Like so many others, we've been impressed by Michelle Obama's polished, classic and accessible fashion style. Phillip Bloch is also a huge fan, so much so that he and Forest Whitaker's wife devised a special nickname for her: "Blackie O."

I want that! Jessica Alba in Gerard Darel

Filed under: Get the Look

Jessica Alba looked soft and beautiful at the Democratic Presidential Convention last week. Alongside her husband Cash Warren and surrounded by other celebrities like Fergie and model Lily Donaldson, Jessica stole the show in her Gerard Darel floral top.

For Jessica, the French fashion house has been a longtime love. Though you can't see in the photo, she paired this chic top with a gorgeous navy velvet pants suit. As she grows as a person, her style also grows. We just love this lady and hope to see lots more of her in the future!

Obama and Clinton: The t-shirt sale

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style


Remember when the Obama and Clinton ticket was rumored to be the hot item of the fall? Well, it's not. Obama picked Joe Biden (an announcement mistaken by many as a possible booty call) as his running mate for the 2008 election and t-shirts across America went on clearance.

That's what happens in the world of political t-shirts, high risk and high reward. We do think it interesting that the clearance price at Perez Hilton's little boutique is still sixteen bucks (that's an $8 savings!). How is that a clearance price? We like our clearance items to be priced in single digits.

Urban Outfitters is run by The Man

Filed under: Style in the News


You're an ultra left-wing radical college student who excels at purchasing snarky t-shirts and the latest clearance items at Urban Outfitters. Guess what? You are the total opposite of the guy who runs the thriving U.O. empire. He's a picture perfect example of The Man. If you find this shocking -- what world are you living in?

Richard Hayne, President of Urban Outfitters, is like the anti-Dov Charney. Rumor has it that he's an uber-conservative square who donates money to people like George Bush -- he definitely donated to homophobic former senator Rick Santorum. Apparently, some people around the blogoshpere think that he's hiding his image to keep from ruing the company.

We hate to break it to them, but we think the reason people shop at UO is the clothes. Whoever runs the thing, they still sell fashionable/controversial/snarky junk. So he used to be a hippie when he founded the company back in 1970. So what?

A Senate race decided by boots?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

"Your momma wears combat boots!" was how kids used to insult each other back in my playground days. Suddenly, though, I may find myself in the situation where someone says to me "Your Senator wears combat boots!"

That's right, here in Virginia, our Senate race is in many ways a race between boot choice. On the one side is incumbent George Allen (the Republican) who wears cowboy boots ... despite the fact that there are no cowboys in Virginia. On the other side is Democrat Jim Webb, who has chosen to wear his son's old combat boots on the campaign trail (Webb's son is currently serving in Iraq).

The two men debated last Sunday on Meet the Press. And while the two candidates were going head-to-head, their boots, in turn, went toe-to-toe.
